Myrtlewood and Maple board

My son and I found a nice, curly and burly Myrtlewood board in a hardwoods store. 8’ x 10.5”x 3/4” It was definitely worth getting. I was making some boards for shows and decided to whack off 18” and add some Curly Maple edging. The rest will be for boxes, I think. This is really in the ‘too nice to cut on’ category. The second board is some Claro Walnut and Maple, 10” x 13”x 1”. The last is some Carob with Claro Walnut, 18” x 12” x 3/4”. The Walnut and Carob came from a trip to visit Ira (Rustfever) in Modesto recently. My friend and I had a great visit and got some pretty wood. Mineral Oil and Wax finish.

Ok Robert great woods and still no imagination I don’t think I will ever rub off on you LOL. Next time ask your son to give it to me LOL I’ll turn it into a real piece of work. But for real, they look great, I’d just make them greater. I wount ask the price you will ask but I see $100.00 each. Just a friend talking. Now I got back at you for your hard times on me LOL. One day you will learn from me as I learned from you LOL. If not I’ll just always out sale you. PS for all you LJ fans that might read this, Robert and I are friends outside of LJ’s and I do look up to him allot, he has helped me more than anyone will ever know on what I do today. We just build different is all.

Thanks for the comments. I do love to use pretty wood, as do many of you. Roger, if you get back from the Phillipines, show us some more of the band saw boxes!! Bummer to have your email hacked. dennis, I am not sure you could handle this wood. It doesn’t have a natural edge. Grumpy, they are the sides. I try to leave the ends free to move. Bread board ends add too much time and cost. I do put them on the counter pullout boards I have made.
